Imagine if President George W. Bush or senior members of his administration asserted that they had the power to assassinate any person, including American citizens on American soil, because they merely suspected them of being involved in a terrorist plot.

Now, imagine that they went a step further and claimed that this broad new power was not subject to any oversight by Congress or the judiciary or international law.

A lot of left-wingers would be apoplectic. And they would be right.

Sadly, a Democratic president, Barack Obama, and senior national security officials in his administration appear to be wielding just that kind of power without any oversight, according to a memorandum outlining the extent of the U.S. drone program uncovered by NBC News Investigative Reporter Michael Isikoff.

STFU Juan. This maniac in chief’s tendancies toward Hitler-like edicts and proclomations shaping his own reality to suit himself have been life-long and steady. If Juan’s having an epiphany, keep it to Juan.

Nah. Juan drank the Obama Kool-Aid a long time ago and his blinders are permanentaly fused on the sides of his face; just above his brown nose. Uh . . I know, I know . . though not intended I know that is RACIST.

Well, Juan is absolutely correct. And for the record, I am neither a Code Pinko, a libertarian or a Paulite. No burden of proof, no due process, no defining of imminent threat, no ackowledgement of just who it is that decides which Americans can be terminated by drone. This is the way of monarchies and fascists, not of constitutional republics.

Obama, with just half that time in office, has so far ordered over 350 drone strikes. That’s not just a bit more, that’s 7 TIMES as many as the President that Big Leftist Media constantly portrayed as a “war criminal” - so where’s the media outrage now??

Sorry Juan, you don't get to feign outrage when you were one of the malpracticing journ-o-lists that brought us to where we are now. Shame on you. Perhaps you're late to the party but how dare you try and crawl over the fence now; stay over there in the pig sty you helped create and address your concerns to the shared-skin color Commie you provided cover for in the past.

Yeah but he’s still a douche. I remember when NPR fired him and Sarah Palin came to his defense, he still found ways to trash her..and just a few days ago he was on with Michelle Malkin on Hannity and he told her to “Calm Down” he’s right what he says about Obama but he will continue to support him

Version 1 had over 300 members so it's possible; he always had the talking points memorized. Then again, I'm suspect of all left leaners and if he wasn't a forum member, I'd bet you he was at least on Media Matters ‘Holiday Greetings’ card list.
